There seems to be a new phenomenon around China in which many girls have ceased wearing pants. I am not joking. I don’t know if they just forget to put them on or if it is the new style, but girls are walking around without pants on. I saw this one lady the other day walking down the street with just a long button up shirt on with nothing else underneath- I watched her, out of sheer curiosity of course, and spyed her underwear beneath her shirt. She was not wearing pants. Is this the new height of laziness or am I suppose to be attracted? Two American girls that I know also picked up on this trend…they now show up to school without pants on…but I think that they are just lazy. Too lazy for pants, man, this is an interesting country. I will run around with Mira on the next sunny day and take photographs of this new breed of pants-less women, as I do not feel as if I will be believed otherwise.
